My experience was terrible. Buses are all super old and broke. Doesn’t have audio at all, so you pass by places and don’t even know what you’re seeing. Bus drivers are not even a little bit polite, doesn’t use microfone to inform stuff and I even had the “unluck” of waiting to hop on and the bus driver just passed by me, making me wait for another 45 minutes for the next bus. Really a waste of money.

Ferries 1, Sliema, Malta My Island Tours Malta

The Valletta harbour cruise will be a truly memorable experience for you. The Grand Harbour between Malta’s Capital City Valletta and the Three Cities of Vittoriosa, Senglea and Cospicua is aptly named. It is grand in every way. There are certainly other fortified harbours around the Mediterranean, but none reach the majesty or provoke as much awe as Grand Harbour with Valletta it’s towering glory and the lovely Three Cities. What better way to admire its seemingly endless fortifications and baroque and medieval architecture, than onboard a ferry cruising on its deep waters and many creeks. Malta’s fortifications are considered to be the best examples of military architecture anywhere in the world. Here are some expert comments on the fortifications surrounding the Valletta Grand Harbour: “the most powerful artificial fortress in the world.” Major General Whitworth Porter of the Royal Engineers.

Inclusions: Restroom on board, Boat cruise around the Grand Harbour, Detailed commentary

Exclusions: Gratuities

Yesterday we went on the Fernandes, I was very happily surprised to see the level of professionalism, the beauty and upkeep of the boat, and the delicious food. The captain threw the bread in the water so the snorklers got a special surprise pf swimming with a school of fish. The boat had stairs that you can jump off or go down into the water. They cover the buffet with clingfilm, so the level of hygiene is beyond what I expected. Well done to the crew, who are very friendly and dp their utmost to make sure everyone is happy
